A few weeks ago, I loaded up my town briefly and I saw that Weber had moved out. His replacement was Jeremiah, but he was sleeping when I went to his house to meet him. Fast forward to today (December 23rd), and Jeremiah has also moved away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, snow now covers the ground and many cedar trees and regular trees are now decorated with festive Christmas lights. Here’s a GIF showing some decorated trees next to Nookington’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candi offered me a free gift, but I only had one space free in my inventory, so I turned it down. That annoyed her a bit, though not as much as I was expecting. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belle told me she bought a Master Sword, but it didn’t match her furniture. So she was looking to trade it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Belle:<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But guess what she wanted in return…my toilet! Haha, it’s a deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Belle:
Yes, and the seat is still warm.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I met Jeremiah’s replacement, Spork the pig. He’s not exactly the cutest animal around, but he seems okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is Toy Day<\/a>, but Tortimer was nowhere to be found at the wishing well. It was 6:40 p.m. though, so maybe I was too late in the day? I hate how Tortimer doesn’t stick around long on holidays in this game. Of course he wouldn’t have given me another toy car anyway, but I was still hoping to speak with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even if Tortimer wasn’t at the wishing well, Baabara was…and she seemed to be in a giving mood. She offered me a strange painting if I got her trivia question correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Baabara:<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But even after I guessed correctly, she suddenly “couldn’t find” the painting to give me. So I got no reward at all. She’s lucky I didn’t have any pitfalls with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least my good buddy Hank was there to balance things out. He gave me a free refrigerator. Pretty cool. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few other quick notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Genji gave me a pear (foreign fruit) in exchange for a barbel steed.<\/li>
  • Static painted my roof black, but it’s covered in snow so I can’t even tell.<\/li>
  • The daily glowing spot yielded 10,000 bells instead of the usual 1,000. Nice!<\/li>
  • Puck told me he figured out why it’s been snowing lately. The reason? It’s winter. \ud83d\ude44<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve posted two Animal Crossing GameCube videos since my last blog entry, so check them out if you haven’t seen them yet. First up is a look at five things about the game that I hate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
